Google and Apple have both removed an application from their respective app stores that Hezbollah was advertising promoting streaming video from its Al-Manar Lebanon-based satellite network.
A spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League said that his organization sent Apple a letter last Friday when it became aware of the app. It was removed by Apple on Sunday.
"We did not have any response from them so it may or may not been a result of our reaching out to them," said the ADL spokesman, Todd Gutnick.

Android version of Al Manar TV streaming video app
(Credit: Al Manar) Apple declined comment. A spokesman for Google said Tuesday afternoon that the app has been removed from Google Play.
Al Manar, the broadcasting arm of Hezbollah, advertised the app on its television network. The U.S. Department of State has included Al-Manar on its Terrorism Exclusion List in December 2004.
A Shi'a militant group and political party inside Lebanon, Hezbollah is considered by the U.S., Israel and many western states to be a terrorist group. However, it has support inside Lebanon and much of the wider Arab world, where it enjoys status as a domestic political player and resistance group. At the same time, it has been accused of involvement in terror attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets around the world. Also, Al Manar television, which essentially functions as the group's PR organ, has run entertainment programs based on the "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." as well as other content with anti-Semitic undertones. We've contacted Al Manar for comment and will update this post when we hear back.

Funny that Apple and Google have no problems with the Jewish porn industry selling tens of thousands of American girls into porn, nor do they ban the Jewish Lobby content that effectively promotes Genocide against the Palestinians.

Thats because they are gentile mind slaves of Israel.

The level of control over the Gentiles that Jews have is staggering. They're preparing for America to fight a war with Iran for them, too.

Its because all the richest American and Western elite families are Zionists. They pick and choose their presidents and key executives. They finance and fund their machinery. They pay for wars that benefit their cause. They even paid Hitler before WWII. They're very clever. While the ordinary people are either in denial, powerless or have simply submitted to their will and the system carefully engineered by them where the world's population is simply powerless and their will meaningless.

Well you don't have to be a Zionist to realize that Hizbullah is the other side of the coin.  So it would natural to understand the big picture.  Apple is American, thus it may be capitalist but it is not bound by state propaganda.  People that work at Apple are free too deseminate the info they receive to how they see fit.  They are no hidden any thing.  So we must appreciate this.  This is how things should be the World over.

Sunnis can't hide the fact that it was Hezbollah that defeated US backed Israel, while the entire Arab League, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, etc went to war with Israel and lost in a few days.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar are U.S. controlled puppets and The U.S. is controlled by the Jewish Lobby.

Companies based in America are required to follow American laws, which I as far as I know includes not allowing groups that the American government considers 'terrorist' to use or benefit from or be supported by the American company's services.

Apple, Google, etc. don't have an option but to comply with the American regime's whims, in order to continue to operate.

The real battle can be fought by calling up your local (American) representatives and reminding them of the importance of a free press and about removing the Al Manar TV station from the 'terrorist' list (remind them: by shutting down free speech for political opponents, they're not upholding the stated values of the country). If enough people did this, it will have an effect.

Interesting perspective. Never thought about it this way.
